62-68 Low Petergate
Mad Alice Lane...we'd be mad not to stop here, as we search for that rare and mystical of birds...the phoenix! Will this magnificent creature ruffle a few feathers, and what bird-brained magic will our wizard get up to next?

The York Sweet Shop
Candy is dandy, and so we'll stop outside York Sweet Shop in search of our next magical creature! Got a sweet tooth? No time to snack, but find out about York's 'sweet' history!
10 minutes
York Minster
We'll walk in the shadows of York Minster, adorned with gargoyles, grotesques and all manner of peculiar creatures! We'll search for a rat from the city's plague era. Can a rat really do magic? And what 'tails' will be told next? Find out on this spellbinding tour!
St William's College
Next on our list is a magical mouse! Find out all about carpenter Robert 'Mousey' Thompson and watch in wonder as your wizard guide transforms a simple handkerchief into a white mouse and then brings it to life.
10 minutes
Bedern Hall
Our wizard walk continues through the backstreets of Bedern, as we work through our list of magical creatures in search of an elusive owl. Expect plenty of surprises along the way, it's always a hoot on The Wizard Walk of York!
